Physical Disabilities

Wheelchairs and mobility scooters are not accepted for Tauck’s international and exotic destinations

Wheelchairs and certain types of mobility scooters can be accommodated on some Tauck journeys. It is best that you investigate the precise journey you are interested in.

As a overall rule, wheelchairs and mobility scooters are not accepted for Tauck’s international and exotic destinations. The international community does not adhere to the same accessibility standards that hotels, restaurants and public buildings do in the United States.

That joined with tour itineraries that may well necessitate a substantial bit of walking in old historic city sections, in and around attractions, over cobblestone streets, up hills and climbing staircases make wheelchairs unrealistic to bring.

Collapsible wheelchairs are more widely accepted for Tauck journeys within the United States and Canada. But even to this, there are exclusions so it always is best to investigate to be certain.

Motor coach space limitations make mobility scooters harder to accommodate on journeys, but there are certain model collapsible mobility scooters that can be accommodated on many of Tauck’s North American journeys. Again, it is best to investigate your options.

Tauck cannot provide wheelchairs to guests or wheelchair assistance during the journey. Persons needing such assistance must be accompanied by an able companion.
